Math Isn't Hell

STOP GROANING. JUST HUSH.

Now this is actually pretty fascinating so pay attention.

e is this strange number used to calculate your mortgage or car loan or stuff.

i is the square root of -1. You might remember that you can't take a square root of a negative number because there are no two numbers that you can multiply together and get a negative number. That means we made up the number in our imagination (get it? i for imagination? it's actually i for imaginary tho but same diff).

Put them all together and what do you get? The most famous equation in all the world: EULER'S IDENTITY.

It is sort of like THE unified math equation. Euler put all 5 of these numbers all in one place and got nothing! Cool, huh?

Now this is what I want you to do: click the next link below. It will open in a new window. Then come back to this window. While the music plays, I want you to get with the music and re-read the stuff up above.
